2016 has been good to you. Way to stick with it in tough conditions.

This thread is awesome. Big congrats again Oak on your buck! Dink, well, maybe you're just more of an archery hunter....I'll have to sit down and get a story out.

You both will never forget that hunt. Congrats on a smoker of a buck!

I'm with the whole "jack it up and shove the rear of it to the right crowd."

Is that the brake rotor or the wheel minus the tire in the mud?!

Was that his brake rotor or the rim of the wheel, minus the tire in the mud?!

So, you started this post; what did YOU do?

Has no one noticed the smackdown Oak layed out?

Just a bit outside...Happens to the best.

What range?

Definitely not a perfect shot, but it was quartering away and caught the offside lung (note bloody muzzle in field photo). The buck was dead 30 yards from where he went out of sight. It was about 140 yards standing offhand. The brush was way too high for any kind of kneeling shot and the buck was watching me after I "sprinted" 600 yards down the ridge to get in range.

Thanks for the congrats. The conditions early in the week made it possible to go in after the deer and have some success in the trees.

But it dried out and by midweek it was pretty much futile.

With short legs like ours, thats like 1200 yds for a Dink sized being.

Offhand after that, well done. Reminds me of Tred practicing his run and shoot.
